I am timid and
I am oversensitive
I am a lioness

I am tired and defensive
You take me in your arms
And I fall into you

I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful


Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy

Just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

Mmmm...


I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and

I am emotional
I am unpredictable
I am naked

I am vulnerable
I am a woman
I am opening up to you


Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it

It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me


Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending


Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands
I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am
Please lay down your arms, do you know me?

Make me feel safe from harm

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me

Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

I am temperamental and

I have imperfections and
I am emotional
There'll be no more pretending


Mmhmm...
